Dr. Steven E. Sokol ACG President A Message from the President In the early 1950s, a small group of women and men had the foresight have participated in the American-German Young Leaders Conference to create an organization dedicated to promoting transatlantic relations since its inception, including the newly minted German Consul General and to changing the perception of Germany in the United States after in New York, David Gill. The ACG has also supported the work of more the first half of the 20th century. Although the world has changed than 1,100 fellows who have traveled across the Atlantic to exchange considerably since then, the role the American Council on Germany plays best practices, learn, and conduct research. today to strengthen ties across the Atlantic is more important than ever. 2017 saw not only the ACG’s 65th anniversary but also the 25th In January 2017, almost exactly 65 years after its founding, the ACG anniversary both of our formalized national outreach through a network kicked off the year with a discussion with the German Permanent of 21 Eric M.

At the dinner, Mr. Kirsch announced the launch of a new new U.S. President took office in a divided nation following one of the fellowship focused on deepening understanding of the global economy most divisive election campaigns in modern history. At the same time, in a transatlantic context. The ACG’s outgoing Chairman, Ambassador many Europeans looked ahead to the year’s elections at the state and Robert M. Kimmitt, was honored with the 2017 Leadership Award national level across the continent with trepidation given the rise of for his steadfast roles as “a dedicated Chairman and a passionate populism and the polarization of politics. With the election results in transatlanticist,” as Chancellor Merkel described him in a letter read the Netherlands, France, and even Germany, Europe largely dodged a at the dinner. populist bullet. However, the ascendancy of the Alternative for Germany In January 2018, after nearly seven years as the ACG’s indefatigable (AfD) to the Bundestag and the political wrangling to form a new Chairman, Ambassador Kimmitt formally passed the baton to government caused additional angst. Ambassador John B. Emerson, Vice Chairman at Capital Group It is fair to say that in 2017 both the United States and the European International. Ambassador Kimmitt had served as U.S. Ambassador to Union, as well as individual member states, were inward-looking. The Germany from 1991 to 1993, and his successor as ACG Chairman served “America First” rhetoric in the United States and the preoccupation with in this same role from 2013 to 2017. Ambassador Emerson previously elections in Europe and coalition-building in Europe were impediments addressed ACG audiences on various occasions and had traveled to to a vibrant and dynamic transatlantic partnership.

  • 2008 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    200808 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2008 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. At the White House in February, I joined President Bush and Mrs. Bush to launch the largest and most ambitious nationwide initiative in NEH’s history: Picturing America, the newest element of our We the People program. Through Picturing America, NEH is distributing forty reproductions of American art masterpieces to schools and public libraries nationwide—where they will help stu- dents of all ages connect with the people, places, events, and ideas that have shaped our country. The selected works of art represent a broad range of American history and artistic achieve- ment, including Emanuel Leutze’s painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware; Mary Cassatt’s The Boating Party; the Chrysler Building in New York City; Norman Rockwell’s iconic Freedom of Speech; and James Karales’s stunning photo of the Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965. Accompanying the reproductions are a teacher’s guide and a dynamic website with ideas for using the images in the study of American history, literature, civics, and other subjects. During the first round of applications for Picturing America awards in the spring of 2008, nearly one-fifth of all the schools and public libraries in America applied for the program. In the fall, the first Picturing America sets arrived at more than 26,000 institutions nationwide, and we opened a second application window for Picturing America awards that will be distributed in 2009.

With four panels, 15 speakers – two of them actually coming from China – and more then 50 participants, a vivid and highly competent discussion evolved around China’s programmatic “One Belt, One Road” or “Belt and Road”-Initiative (henceforth abbreviated BRI ), as it was formally launched by President Xi Jinping in 2013, and the major investments and resource allocations following it. Many questions were put on the table. As was to be expected, definitive answers were in short supply: Does China just want to expand its trade and export corridors? Or does the Asian super- power pursue its own geo-political aims, transcending the trade aspect of BRI? How should Europe deal with this? Is BRI, which follows the logics of country-to-country deals and which offers itself to EU member states and to non-EU members (eventually EU candidates), undermining the European system? And if so, what should be done about this? What about the opportunities arising out of an improved transportation and energy infrastructure, even if they are initiated, financed, loaned and built by Chinese players? Simple answers to these questions have to be ruled out.

  • Ferien-Schreck
    REGIERUNG VERSCHÄRFT REISE-REGELN Ferien-Schreck Seehofer zu BILD: „Reiserückkehrer müssen künftig bei jeder Einreise einen negativen Corona-Test haben, egal aus welchem Land sie zurückkommen“ von: LYDIA ROSENFELDER, PETER TIEDE, NELLY KÜHN UND BURKHARD UHLENBROICHveröffentlicht am28.07.2021 - 13:18 Uhr 30 Grad im Schatten oder 26 Grad im Meer, Finca oder Ballermann – und nun auch noch die Frage: bleiben oder abreisen? So geht jetzt Urlaub im Corona-Hochinzidenzgebiet Mallorca. Denn: Seit Dienstag sind ganz Spanien (derzeit 400 000 Deutsche) und das Nordsee-Urlaubsland Niederlande von der Bundesregierung in die zweithöchste Corona-Kategorie eingestuft. Ferien-Schock und Rückreise-Angst. Grund: Hochinzidenzgebiet heißt für alle, die nicht geimpft oder genesen sind: nach Rückkehr mindestens 5 Tage Quarantäne. Eine Gefahr vor allem für Jüngere, es so nicht rechtzeitig zum ersten Arbeits- oder Schultag zu schaffen. Und es kann noch dicker kommen, wenn es nach Innenminister Horst Seehofer (72, CSU) und Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (41, CDU) geht. Die Minister planen eine deutliche Verschärfung der Einreiseregeln aus ALLEN Ländern. Und das unabhängig davon, ob Corona-Sorglos-Land, Risiko-, Hochinzidenz- oder Virusvarianten-Gebiet: Jeder Einreisende (außer geimpft oder genesen) soll einen Test vorlegen – nach BILD-Informationen sogar einen PCR-Test. Bedeutet: Statt bisher nur für Flugreisende oder Kreuzfahrer soll die Testpflicht für alle Einreisenden auf dem Luft-, Wasser- und Landweg gelten! Das geht aus einem Entwurf für eine neue Einreiseverordnung hervor (liegt BILD vor). ► Innenminister Seehofer zu BILD: „Wir müssen alles tun, um eine vierte Welle zu verhindern. Dazu gehört auch, dass Reiserückkehrer künftig bei jeder Einreise einen negativen Corona-Test haben, egal aus welchem Land sie zurückkommen.“ Stationäre Grenzkontrollen, so Seehofer, werde „es aber nicht geben“.

H. Whitney and Georges Doriot, and the mid-century associations of Draper, Gaither & Anderson and Davis & Rock — families and firms who financed advanced technologies and built iconic US companies. Each interviewee was asked to reflect on his formative years, his career path, and the subsequent challenges faced as a venture capitalist. Their stories reveal passion and judgment, risk and rewards, and suggest in a variety of ways what the small venture capital industry has contributed to the American economy. As the venture capital industry prepares for a new market reality in the early years of the 21st century, the National Venture Capital Association reports (2008) that venture capital investments represented 2% of US GDP and was responsible for 10.4 million American jobs and 2.3 trillion in sales.
